Book Synopsis
Each day is a grand family adventure with the fathers and sons in this lyrical picture book filled with lush illustrations.
A young son and his father trek through trees and listen to birdsong, dig for worms and go fishing, and enjoy the breeze sitting side by side, just like Pop Pop and Daddy did, years ago.
A heartfelt and hopeful tale that touches on grieving the loss of a loved one as a father and son recreate old memories and make new ones in a day-long hiking adventure.
From the Back Cover
A tender exploration of the beauty of intergenerational bonds and the unshakeable love between fathers and sons.
Review Quotes
"...This potent, poetic story is complemented by Fisher's.... delicate touch, conveying the small pleasures of the great outdoors as well as moments of sadness and the importance of giving oneself permission to sit with sadness. Tender and affirming, (Dad) lets the protagonist know that showing emotion is OK--a valuable lesson for young readers coping with grief."--Kirkus Review

Beautifully illustrated remembrance of a loved one!
Daddy & Me, Side by Side is a beautifully illustrated remembrance of a loved one, while recreating special time spent with that person. I love the bond between the father and son as they trek through the wilderness and quietly grieve Pop-Pop. Encourages discussions of family, loss, and outdoor activities.

Nature, Father & Son, Intergeneration, Grief
This lovely story was a hit with my outdoor-loving kids! They loved the father and son hiking together, having special parent-child time. The nature illustrations are vibrant and encourage readers to want to get outside themselves. The story and art together show the strong bond between the characters and the love of father to son. Sometimes nature's brilliance and silence can encourage us to open up about our feelings or to reflect on our own lives, and this happens here when our young narrator shares he misses his late grandfather, who also used to hike in the same woods with the father when he was a boy. A winner for Father's Day or as a gift for nature-loving kids.
